For those that don’t already know, Dave and I are cousins. Our moms are sisters, although we grew up in different areas. We have quite a large family.
This is our grandmom, Eleanor Ruch. Sadly, she passed away on April 12. She had suffered a serious stroke about two weeks ago and was being monitored closely at her retirement home. Of course, many of our aunts, uncles, cousins, and other relatives came to see her, but she never really recovered. She died peacefully in bed.
Grandmom was born in 1927. She would have turned 90 on April 22. She was married to our granddad for 57 years before he died in 2005. They had 8 children together and worked hard to raise them well. There are now 23 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren in the family!
It’s hard when a loved one dies, especially when you’re away from home. But we have a lot of good memories of our grandparents - parties and family barbeques, home-cooked meals, watching TV and chatting, cleaning up leaves from the yard. We also have a good network of family members back at home and plenty of old photos to remind us of her.
We love you, Grandmom!
We had our cherry blossom viewing party on Sunday. The weather was rainy early in the morning, but it turned into a nice day. Many of our students and friends came out to enjoy the view with us. There were over 50 people at one point.
Thank you for coming out everybody!
Good morning friends! Are you awake yet? I woke up at 5 am and it was still raining a little, so I just came out now to get us a spot. The bare dirt areas are extremely wet and puddly, so I got us a nice grassy spot. We will be on the SOUTH side of the bridge. Just at the bottom of the big ramp. Please use these pictures to orient yourselves. If you can't find us, please call me at 090-3746-3283. I don't think it will rain anymore, but if you plan to stay until evening, you should bring something warm to wear. Also, there are not really any convenience stores or supermarkets nearby, so stock up on booze and food on your way. Of course there are also food stalls along the river selling festival foods and beers. See you all soon. I will come back here before noon if anybody plans on coming early.
